Subtopics planned
Detailed inventory in the spec YAML — every subtopic mapped to the PSHE Association's L1-L19 codes (Living in the Wider World, KS3) or the statutory Citizenship financial-decisions bullet, so schools can show curriculum alignment cleanly.
Y7-Y9
Age-appropriate authoring
Every card is written at the right level for Y7-Y9 — age-appropriate vocabulary, the right depth, no GCSE jargon. When students reach GCSE, the concepts aren't new — just deeper. Profit, marketing mix, and the basics of finance all land faster when students have already practised them.
What's covered
The KS3 Business programme, board-agnostic.
